Pinwheels (Carousels)

I am constantly receiving questions and requests for the pinwheel effects featured in my other style packs.
Some people use the term "carousel" for this type of effect. I prefer the term "pinwheel", so I'll stick to it.

Because of this, I've decided to release this pack that includes pinwheels of all kinds, in the hope that all the questions will be answered.

The horizontal pinwheels include reflections, and styles for pictures that were shot in the 3 most common aspect ratios: 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9.
The vertical pinwheels can be used with pictures of any aspect ratio.

As you can see in the demo clip, I am presenting these styles in their basic form, so you may customize them as you like.
You can change the backgrounds, create your own borders, duplicate layers for other effects, or even replace some layers with decorative graphics. If you feel adventurous, you may play with the Rotation Center, and the Tilt Values, or use Portrait pictures. Do whatever your heart wishes. You may find some creative ideas in my other style packs that feature these effects.
It goes without saying that you may, of course, choose to use them as they are, and that's perfectly OK too. They do look great, as is !
